The most recent recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics is that eggs can be given to infants when complementary foods are added to the diet. (1) The only egg ingredient used in Baby’s Only® Formulas with DHA & ARA is egg phospholipid (also known as egg lecithin) from the fat in organic egg yolk which is the source of the fatty acids DHA and ARA in the formula.
Most often an egg allergy is caused by the egg white, the major protein portion of an egg, rather than the yolk. If a child has a history of food allergies, consultation with the child’s healthcare provider is always recommended before use of any new food including Baby’s Only® formulas containing organic DHA.
